The Encouraging Diversity, Growth, and Equity (EDGE) program examines internal procurement policies, procedures, and practices to remove those adversely impacting economically and socially disadvantaged businesses, as described in R.C. 122.922. In developing the procurement strategy, the Procurement Team meets to discuss several key topics, including, but not limited to: Performance Measures, Procurement Methods, Scope, and Constraints and Risks.

Contract Administration Plan (CAP) defines how a contract will be administered. During the contract administration phase of the procurement life cycle, contracts are monitored to ensure compliance with terms and conditions, correct supplier invoices, performance measures are being met, and payments to suppliers are made timely.
